High wing pro checking in here. Due to the nature of the high wing and it’s ability to slice wind at an atomic level, I believe that you’d definitely hear less wind.

jk man i’m trolling. Idk the answer tbh

If you open the windows with the high wing spoiler, the clutch will stop working because the downforce is so immense that it will create a vacuum in the cabin. That's why you can only get a DCT.

then you are telling me not to get the spoiler because of the dual clutch will cause problems inside the car?

No, I'm telling you to not get the manual option. You should get the DCT instead because if you get the high wing and you open the windows, the clutch pedal on the manual will not work.

Folks are just trolling you, maybe your original question was a serious one.

If that is the case, then the answer is that you won't be able to notice any additional wind noise simply because the intake and the exhaust note of the V8 will be louder than any additional wind noise that the high wing might produce.

I want the high wing just to see if I can make it throw visable vortices off it during my morning commute.

On a side note the C8 is the first Corvette that I think a spoiler makes it look uglier. Looks much nicer without a spoiler in my opinion.
